Is it a different type rating than the -400?

Even if they are the same, you gotta love being able to say you're taking a new Ocho from ANC to NRT tonight.

OCHO!

According to Boeing's site-- "The 747-8 will build on the current 747's capability to fly into most airports worldwide, using the same pilot type ratings, "

I also like the name you all are using, Ocho. One big, fat flying burrito......

Ok, so the same type rating as the -400.

Hmmm....it could be the doble cuatro. Or the Cuatro dos menes.

Man, that's too many syllables.

OCHO!

I'll cast my vote for OCHO. Has just the right sound.

Will it really share a type with the 400?

SJS exists even at mainline. Can't wait to fly your shiny 747 jet around the world? Enjoy your 16 day trips while your husband goes out with the new replacement.
